Transoft Solutions releases GuidSIGN 4.3 for Windows®

New standalone GuidSIGN version for Windows platform released

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 19, 2006 - Vancouver, B.C, Canada

Transoft Solutions, developers of advanced CAD-based software for the architectural and engineering transportation industry, has released a new version of its standalone highway and roadway design software - GuidSIGN 4.3 for Windows. As with its CAD-based predecessor, GuidSIGN 4.3, the new Windows version includes new roadway sign fonts, styles and special requests from end users such as compatibility with updated FHWA Series 2000 and TrueType® fonts as well as the new ClearviewHwy™ font and updated MUTCD standards. GuidSIGN 4.3 for Windows is also designed to have direct integration between designers' output files, and cutters and plotters used in the sign development process owing to the situation in which many sign manufacturing shops do not use CAD platform software, thereby causing inconsistencies between what had been originally designed and the finished product.

"Our latest release, GuidSIGN 4.3 for Windows, allows users to create various highway and roadway signs that conform to government standards with considerably improved accuracy and efficiency without the need of, or expertise in, costly CAD-based platforms such as MicroStation or AutoCAD. The ease of use with this product is simply outstanding," commented Transoft's Associate Product Manager, Michael Frost, "Furthermore, signs designed in this newest GuidSIGN version for Windows are designed to be fully compatible with Transoft's CAD-based versions of GuidSIGN, making it the ideal sign design software for collaboration on transportation projects between state and federal DOT's, counties, municipalities, and individual consultants."

New features for GuidSIGN 4.3 for Windows include:

Full compatibility with Windows NT, 2000, XP and GuidSIGN for AutoCAD and MicroStation
Updated MUTCD 2003 panel styles
Compatibility with True Type® fonts including the new ClearviewHwy™ fonts
Supports extended TrueType® font accented characters
New special characters (e.g. "!" "$" "#")"
Transoft's GuidSIGN family of products (for both CAD and Windows based platforms) are easy to use programs that fully automate the design of highway and roadway signs and does so much quicker and simpler compared to conventional sign design methods. Different versions of GuidSIGN have been in use since 1993.
